Wow! Great News! Another Minelab Promotion On The Gpx-6000 25% Off

[RONS DETECTORS MINELAB]

Wow! 25% off the GPX-6000 for the month of March and its just reaching its second year anniversary. 

It’s always good for the consumer when two competing companies are trying to keep sales up and use pricing to achieve that goal. If these recent sales prices our part of this goal and could remain in a long term competition, then its going to be a very competitive market for these high end detector. Note also, the 15% military discount Is now also offered by both companies.

The prices added in the list below do a fairly reasonable job at separating out the performance verses current pricing options on the higher end PI detectors. The only caveat to this is If pricing and performances are close together I would always choose the three year warranty option though. Below is the price list including the most recent February/March sales prices offered on the most high end Pulse Induction detectors.

 

ATX $2,379.00 Weight with 11 x 13 inch mono coil 7.0 Lbs. Water submersible. Lots to offer for coil sizes & coil configurations to achieve small and fairly large gold performance. Offers partial iron discrimination with DD coils. 2 year warranty

SDC 2300 $2,550.00 February SALE vs. $3,499. Weight with 8 inch mono coil 5.3 Lbs. Water submersible. The MFP timings with the small 8” coil seems to handle higher mineralization pretty well. Very small gold performance. 3 year warranty

Axiom $3,995.00  Weight w 11 inch mono 4.2 LBS.  Very small and fairly large gold performance. Offers partial iron discrimination with DD coils. 2 year warranty

GPX 5000 $3,999.00 Weight on arm minus battery pack 5.3 Lbs. with 11” coil. To be wireless you need to add Doc’s Gold Screamer battery and booster pack 6.3 Lbs. Largest offerings for coil sizes & coil configurations to achieve small and large* gold performance. Offers partial iron discrimination with DD coils. 3 year warranty

The GPX-5000 could definitely use a price reduction also but is still one of the most versatile PI detector on the market.

 *Note: Coiltek Elite & Nugget Finder Evolution coils add more performance and sensitivity over previous released bundle wound coils.

GPX 6000 $4,500.00 March SALE. Weight 4.6 Lbs. w 11 inch mono. Very small and fairly large gold performance. 3 year warranty

GPZ 7000 $6,375.00 February SALE vs. $8,499,00. Weight 7.3 Lbs. w 14 inch DOD coil ZVT or 6.0 Lbs. with the Nugget Finder Z-search 12 inch coil and compatible CTX-3030 Li-ion battery. Minelab’s flagship detector with very small and exceptional large gold performance. 3 year warranty

Please do not get to excited about the iron discrimination capabilities on the ATX, Axiom, & older GPX series, as it is only has partial discrimination at best. Works good on surface iron, but for any deep iron you will still need to dig quite a bit of dirt until your detector can determine it is iron. The only chart that I could find to show this was a GP-3000 Minelab chart showing its limited discrimination abilities, attached below.

Very shrewd of Minelab to go this route doing back to back sales in the second  quarter following a competitor’s new release, but also very telling. 
 

I hope the end-result is more innovation. I like your swipe at the 5000 pricing, that’s the one that should have dropped down into the 30-45% off range. Steep learning curve but a no-brainer for someone looking for an established piece of gold detecting hardware.

Interesting. Minelab added the entire month of April to the GPX 6000 promotion. Sales must be hurting pretty bad, due to a huge sales decline in Africa with the detecting gold rush they’re finally petering out. Then add in the benefit of this being a response to the Axiom at $3995. Just shows that this was a $4500 detector all along I guess, and competition is forcing Minelab to give up the extra profit they were pocketing. The GPX 6000 is worth $500 more than an Axiom, but it sure is not worth $1500 more and sales may have reflected that. 25% off for two months - wow! And will it end there, or is this just the new MAP price? How do they go back to $5999 after doing this for two solid months? Sales would stop dead if they do, as after two months it looks more like a $1500 price increase, not the end of a sale.

Minelab Promotions for the Month of April:

Minelab GPX-6000 $4,499.25 Extended Sale

Minelab Equinox 600/800 with Free 15" Coil $599.00/$899.00

Minelab CTX-3030 with Free 17" Coil $1,999.00

Competition always brings positive results for the consumer. what impresses me is that the 5k keeps a fixed price and in fact in my country in the last months it got a 500 euro increase...
